of the Instructions for Use is missing, you can download one from www.thomashilfen.de. The assembly / disassembly of
the accessories is done with standard tools.
Adapter plate (Fig. 11)
The adapter plate is needed to use another accessory. It is attached at the front on the seat surface of the rehab car seat.
Before assembly, clean the plastic surface on the underside of the seat with commercially available cleaning agents (e.g.
water and rinsing agent) until it is completely free from grease.
Now remove the hook and loop strips (fleece) from the adapter plate and attach them to the underside of the seat. The
hook and loop strips (hooks) remain on the adapter plate.

Position the seat flush in a 90° angle at the front of the adapter (handle of the adapter facing forwards) and tilt the seat
over to hook and loop it to the adapter.

Swivel base with adapter (Fig. 14)
With the swivel feature the rehab car seat can be turned towards the vehicle’s door. For caregivers transferring the user
and accessing the car seat’s 5-point positioning harness is made easier. For the user it is easier to get in and out inde-
pendently. Other accessories can be attached to the adapter at the front of the rehab care seat at the same time.
Seatfix adapter (Fig. 15)
ISOFIX can be used in the vehicle with the Seatfix adapter to increase the stability of the rehab car seat. Extra stability
is especially needed if the swivel feature (and / or tilt feature) is also being used. The Seatfix adapter also secures the car
seat in the vehicle when it is not being used.
Stabilising bow (Fig. 16)
The stabilising bow is attached to the back of the rehab car seat and pushed between the gap between the seat surface
and seatback of the vehicle’s seat. It is suitable if ISOFIX can’t be used. Extra stability is especially needed if the swivel
feature (and / or tilt feature) is also being used.
Stand (Fig. 17)
The stand helps to stabilise the rehab car seat. Extra stability is especially needed if the swivel feature (and / or tilt fea-
ture) is also being used.
